Closeouts. Exercise and adventure in the winter months begins with a pair of Komperdell Mountaineer snowshoes. They're designed for rugged conditions with hard-wearing decking, and lightweight, anodized-aluminum frames.

The snowshoes stayed firmly attached to the boots without any adjustments during a 1 hour snowshoe. If you have really deep snow, I would use wooden snowshoes for the maximum floatation but that is true for any of the metal shoes in my opinion.

These snowshoes have performed beautifully so far. I get out into the wood, blazing my own trails throughout the winter as often as possible. I've gone through 3 pairs of Costco snowshoes during the last few years.

The binding system isn't the easiest to just slip into and go, but it is fantastic. The stability of the binding once you are in the shoes is great and once your boot is in the webbing system, they are very easy to adjust and tighten. The snowshoes are wider that my previous inexpensive pair, but the extra size is a plus. Each footfall feels very stable and they track straight ahead (other brands of snowshoes I've had had allowed too much side to side movement with the binding).

This was a great purchase for me and I would highly recommend these whether you are upgrading, or just getting your first pair. I'm not sure if a smaller person would find these unwieldy or not. They are larger than the cheaper, average 25" snowshoe, but at 6'2",190 lbs. I didn't notice any difference with the added size (other than the previously mentioned benefits).

I really wanted to like these. The frame is well designed--very quick. Like the tapered design. Two major design flaws however made these a return for me: 1. Bindings--HORRIBLE. Cumbersome, difficult to put on (every time)....also doubt they will hold up over time. 2. Front crampons--very sharp and grippy, BUT their placement directly under the front of the foot with only a thin piece of flimsy pleather separating the boot (and I was wearing very good Vasque boots) ended up causing discomfort after only half an hour of use. Shame, these really could be great shoes.

As a rule they do not come with instructions. Maybe this will help. They side their shoe into the front staps. Make Sure the buckle of the rear strap is to the outside of the foot. Then pull the back strap over the heel. They need to tighten the front first, then the heel. the ends of the front straps with the snap is then snapped around the ankle just so they are not flopping around.|Here are some links to videos that may help.|http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+to+put+on+snow+shoes&view=detail&mid=C809DDBF9EBF469B5D40C809DDBF9EBF469B5D40&first=0|http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+to+put+on+snow+shoes&mid=50F61BF0E5A6CF24233250F61BF0E5A6CF242332&view=detail&FORM=VIRE4
